Two Saudi guards killed on border with Yemen

Sergeants Ali al-Ghazwani and Sarwi al-Saeed were “martyred while carrying out their duty in protecting the country’s borders from rebel aggressors” on Sunday, the official SPA said, quoting a statement by the Saudi-led coalition.

They were killed in the Jazan district bordering Yemen, it added without giving details.

Saudi Arabia is leading an Arab coalition that has been carrying out air strikes against the Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies across Yemen since March 26.

The rebel-run Sabanews.net website reported that anti-government militia in Yemen attacked Saudi border positions on Sunday in the Aseer and Jazan regions.
